spring not all the way in lower pocket? problem or no?
well i noticed this when i got my new rims put on... one of my rear springs on the drivers side is about 1/2inch from sitting in its little pocket/grove....
i mean its INPLACE... but the spring could be rotated about 1/2inch to the tip of the spring is in the grove where the tip was from stock... is this a problem? or would it be fine?
i havent noticed any poping or anything...
but the tire gap is only SLIGHTLY bigger on that side but nothing noticable unless you finger gap both sides...
i tried to man handle it into the grove BUT the spring wouldnt budge...
i thought i had all the springs set properly when i instaled them and took off the spring compressor but i guess either i didnt or its moved....
should i worry abotu this enough to fix it..... or just leave it?

do ya think id be able to put on the spring compressor on the strut while its still on the car? id rather not do a whole bunch of work pulling them off to just turn the spring about 1/4- 1/8th a turn....
i mean the spring is in the pocket BUT the TIP of the spring could be rotated just alittle to touch the STOP slot...

no i cannt turn it at all.... i tried two handing it and turning it into that slot but its realy tight!
but its inside the pocket BUT say its like a bolt the threaded part...... it would be turned alittle more to where it wont turn any more..
